The oldest living American has celebrated her 116th birthday with a drive-thru party. Hester Ford, from Charlotte, North Carolina, was wheeled out to the door of her home where she was greeted by friends, family and her community. She marked the event with a drive-thru birthday party on Thursday ahead of her actual birthday, which fell on Saturday.
People were asked to leave gifts at the end of the driveway, where they would later be collected and safely introduced to the house. According to WBTV, when asked what gifts she wanted for her birthday, Ford replied: "Anything that anybody will give me." The mother-of-12 has 48 grandchildren and 200 great-grandchildren.
